Over the past couple of months, we have all experienced an unexpected changes in our lives. We know for some, finances have been especially challenging. As stay-at-home orders began to impact our area, GVEC Internet Internet made adjustments to our billing procedures to extend payment grace-periods and encouraged customers to contact us regarding payment arrangements, if needed.
As the State of Texas continues toward reopening and gets back to normal business operations, we believe it’s critical that GVEC Internet Internet reinstate the processes that allow us to continue delivering the services our customers rely on us to provide.
In March, GVEC Internet Internet opted to temporarily suspend late fee assessment and non-payment disconnect for our services to allow customers time to adjust to new circumstances. As of June 1, 2020, we will once again be charging late fees to past due accounts that have not contacted us to make payment arrangements. Additionally, as of June 17, 2020, GVEC Internet will resume our non-payment disconnect processes for accounts that are more than 30 days past due and have not contacted us to set up payment arrangements for the past due amount.
For customers who may be experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 and need assistance with their bill, please call us at 800-699-4832 as soon as possible and we’ll work to create payment arrangements suited to your specific situation.
GVEC Internet Internet will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 daily updates from credible resources such as the Texas Department of State Health Services among other official contacts, and make ongoing decisions to help ease concerns for our customers and employees. We appreciate your cooperation and patience throughout each step.
